Yep, it's really amazing that this song was written by George Michael - a person who I've always supposed to be a very futile one. It's hard to know how ironic he was on giving such an apocalyptical tone to this lyrics. Anyhow, I really enjoy this lyrics, despite it doesn't sincerely make me feel guilty of anything. I mean I surely know there are a lot of needy people everywhere I go in this world but I also know that the biggest responsible ones for their misfortune are the politicians who are able to spend real fortunes on wars and pharaonic projects but are totally unable to make something really good for helping the poor people. These are the first ones who should fear some punishment from Heaven... Nevertheless, I also think many of us could give more than we are used to give to. And most of us certainly need to learn to be less selfish and more charitable.
Regarding more specifically the lyrics, on its 1st part he declares that it's time to look at the poverty around us with more attention before it's too late for saving ourselves from ourselves, while on its 2nd part he exposes our almost total negligence in relation to the sad things that have happened around us, so we all need to believe that it still exists time for us to come out from our comfortable houses for doing something useful for the rest of the world...
